BILLY LUCK

Special Features: World Premiere | Q&A with filmmakers Jeff Krulik and Dina Selfridge and subject Chris Earnshaw | FREE for SCC members

“First I was his documentarian, then I was his enabler, now I’m his doppelganger...” Over 25 years ago, filmmaker Jeff Krulik fell under the spell of local photographer, musician and writer Chris Earnshaw, a manic yet fascinating walking encyclopedia of Washington DC’s cultural and architectural history. The two started wandering the streets of DC, recording Chris riffing on the vanishing cityscape — the lost downtown he captured in photos beginning as a child, eventually amassing thousands of stills. But as the hours of footage and the years wore on, Chris found himself a local art star, with a front-page story in the Washington Post Arts section, while Jeff’s original documentary endeavor turned upside down, going haywire, becoming something else entirely. A film by Jeff Krulik, Greg DeLiso and Dina Selfridge. U.S., 2026, color, 90 min. NOT RATED

BILLY LUCK screens to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Chris Earnshaw’s photo exhibit “District” at the Historical Society of Washington, DC.
